Exhibit 99.7
Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Combined Financial Statements
The Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Combined Financial Statements, (the “pro forma financial statements”) combine the historical consolidated financial statements of NRG Yield, Inc., or the Company, and the financial statements of the entities that were acquired by the Company to illustrate the potential effect of the acquisition. The Company acquired Laredo Ridge Wind, LLC, WCEP Holdings, LLC and its subsidiaries and Tapestry Wind, LLC and its subsidiaries, or the Drop-Down Assets, from NRG Energy, Inc., or NRG, on January 2, 2015. The pro forma financial statements are based on, and should be read in conjunction with, the:
· accompanying notes to the Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Combined Financial Statements;
· consolidated financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2013 and for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and the notes relating thereto, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 and Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2014; and
· financial statements of Laredo Ridge Wind, LLC, WCEP Holdings, LLC and its subsidiaries and Tapestry Wind, LLC and its subsidiaries for the year ended December 31, 2013 and for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and the notes relating thereto included within Exhibits 99.1, 99.2, 99.3, 99.4, 99.5 and 99.6 to this Form 8-K/A.
The historical consolidated financial statements have been adjusted in the pro forma financial statements to give effect to pro forma events that are (1) directly attributable to the acquisition of the Drop-Down Assets, (2) factually supportable and (3) with respect to the pro forma statements of operations, expected to have a continuing impact on the combined results. The Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Combined Statements of Operations or the pro forma statement of operations, for the year ended December 31, 2013 and for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, give effect to the acquisition as if it occurred on January 1, 2013. The Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Combined Balance Sheet, or the pro forma balance sheet, as of September 30, 2014, gives effect to the acquisition as if it occurred on September 30, 2014.
The Drop-Down Assets were acquired by NRG on April 1, 2014 and NRG applied the acquisition method of accounting under U.S. GAAP and the regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, and recorded the acquired assets and liabilities at fair market value on the date of the acquisition. As the Drop-Down Assets and the Company are under common control, the Drop-Down Assets were transferred to the Company at historical carrying value. For periods in the pro forma financial statements prior to April 1, 2014, adjustments were made to reflect the accounting for NRG’s acquisition of the Drop-Down Assets as if it occurred on January 1, 2013.
The pro forma financial statements have been presented for informational purposes only and are not necessarily indicative of what the combined company’s results of operations and financial position would have been had the acquisition of the Drop-Down Assets been completed on the dates indicated. The Company could incur significant costs to integrate the businesses. The pro forma financial statements do not reflect the cost of any integration activities or benefits that may result from synergies that may be derived from any integration activities. In addition, the pro forma financial statements do not purport to project the future results of operations or financial position of the combined company.

Notes to the Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Combined Financial Statements
(a) Represents the amortization of the value of the power purchase agreements that were recorded in connection with NRG’s accounting for the acquisition of the Drop-Down Assets. Also represents the removal of grant revenue for all pre-acquisition periods to conform the previous policy for recording the receipt of cash grants as deferred revenue to NRG’s policy of reducing the value of the related property, plant and equipment.
(b) Represents the estimated change in net depreciation expense resulting from fair value adjustments to the acquired property, plant and equipment in connection with NRG’s accounting for the acquisition of the Drop-Down Assets. The estimated useful lives of the property, plant and equipment range from 18 to 23 years.
(c) Reflects the estimated increase in interest expense for borrowings necessary to fund the purchase price of the acquisition. To fund the purchase price of the acquisition, in January 2015, the Company borrowed approximately $210 million of its revolving credit facility. The facility bears interest at a rate of 1-month LIBOR plus 2.25%.
(d) Represents the adjustment to record the tax effect of the reduction in revenue, change in depreciation expense and increase in interest expense, calculated utilizing the Company’s estimated combined statutory federal and state tax rate of 40.0%.
(e) Represents the adjustment to record noncontrolling interest associated with the results of the Drop-Down Assets in Yield Inc.’s results.
(f) The Company acquired the TA High Desert, RE Kansas South, and El Segundo projects, or the Acquired ROFO Assets, on June 30, 2014. The acquisition was accounted for as a transfer of entities under common control. Accordingly, the consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2013 was retrospectively recast to include the results of these assets as if the transfer had taken place on January 1, 2013. Net income for the Acquired ROFO Assets is not included in the net income attributable to NRG Yield, Inc.
(g) Represents cash utilized to fund the purchase price of the Drop-Down Assets.
(h) Represents the additional borrowings necessary to fund the purchase price of the acquisition. To fund the purchase price of the acquisition, in January 2015, the Company borrowed approximately $210 million of its revolving credit facility.
(i) Represents the adjustment to reclassify the equity of the Drop-Down Assets to non-controlling interest. The acquisition represents a transfer of interests under common control and the equity was transferred at carrying value with no gain or loss recorded.
